Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protective material ring.
- a dry etching apparatus using plasma is used as a substrate treatment apparatus in manufacture of a semiconductor integrated device such as an LSI.
- the dry etching apparatus includes a cylindrical vacuum chamber. While a wafer to be etched is placed on a cathode of a planar electrode and etching gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber, a high-frequency voltage is applied between the cathode and a counter electrode (anode) by a high-frequency oscillator to generate plasma of the etching gas between the electrodes. Positive ions as activated gas in the plasma enter a surface of the wafer to etch the wafer.
- ring-shaped members are used in the vacuum chamber of the dry etching apparatus.
- Representative examples of the ring-shaped member include a focus ring that has a doughnut shape surrounding the wafer to be etched and an annular ground ring placed so as to cover a side surface of a columnar susceptor base portion on which the wafer is mounted.
- Examples further include protective materials such as an annular shielding ring provided on a peripheral portion of the counter electrode and a side-wall member that covers an inner-wall side surface of the vacuum chamber (Patent Literature 1).
- a silicon component is desired to be used in the vacuum chamber of the dry etching apparatus because a metal component causes metal contamination when the metal component is used. It is necessary for the focus ring, the ground ring, and the ring-shaped protective materials to each have a diameter larger than that of the wafer to be etched.
- a silicon component for 300 mm wafer which is mainly in current use, is expensive because the silicon component is fabricated from a silicon crystal ingot having a diameter of 320 mm or more. In particular, the diameter of some ring-shaped side-wall members reaches 700 mm or more, and it may be virtually impossible to fabricate the ring-shaped side-wall members from silicon crystal ingots.
- Patent Literature 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-251744
- the silicon component can be manufactured by joining a plurality of silicon members, not from a one-piece component, silicon crystal ingots that have a smaller diameter can be used for fabrication of the silicon component. Therefore, various advantages such as manufacturing cost reduction are expected.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a protective material ring in which a plurality of silicon members are joined together.
- a protective material ring according to the present invention is a protective material ring to be installed in a treatment chamber of a substrate treatment apparatus performing plasma treatment on a substrate, and the substrate is accommodated in the treatment chamber.
- the protective material ring includes: three or more silicon members; and a joining part joining the three or more silicon members.
- the joining part contains boron oxide.
- a protective material ring according to the present invention is a protective material ring to be installed in a treatment chamber of a substrate treatment apparatus performing plasma treatment on a substrate, and the substrate is accommodated in the treatment chamber.
- the protective material ring includes: three or more silicon members; and a joining part joining the three or more silicon members.
- the joining part contains any one of Al, Ga, Ge, and Sn, and is a eutectic alloy with silicon
- the silicon members include two or more arc-shaped silicon members and an embedded silicon member that is embedded at a position across the arc-shaped silicon members, and the joining part joining the arc-shaped silicon members and the embedded silicon member is provided between the arc-shaped silicon members and the embedded silicon member.
- the protective material ring it is possible to manufacture the protective material ring by combining a plurality of silicon members each cut out from a silicon crystal ingot that has a size smaller than an outer diameter of the protective material ring. Therefore, a silicon crystal ingot that has a size larger than the outer diameter of the protective material ring does not necessarily need to be used for the protective material ring, and hence the cost can be accordingly reduced.

- the surfaces of the respective silicon members may be etched by mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid.
- the three first silicon members 34 , 36 and 38 are arranged in the ring shape.
- An alloying metal foil is disposed between the abutting surfaces 37 A of the first silicon members 34 , 36 and 38 .
- a thickness of the alloying metal foil is preferably small in terms of reduction in energy for melting.
- the thickness of the alloying metal foil is preferably 0.1 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m, and more preferably 0.5 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m to exert joining strength. If the thickness of the alloying metal foil is lower than the above-described lower limit value, the alloying metal foil is easily damaged when disposed on the joining surface. If the thickness of the alloying metal foil is larger than the above-described upper limit value, a part where joining with silicon is insufficient is easily generated.
- heating is performed from the outer side of the silicon members, to generate a melt containing silicon and the alloying metal.
- the heating method is not particularly limited, and the heating can be performed through resistance heating, optical heating, etc.
- the optical heating is preferable because positions to be heated can be easily shifted, and a heating amount can be easily changed based on the supplied power.
- various kinds of lamps and lasers are used.
- an apparatus illustrated in FIG. 4 can be used.
- the apparatus illustrated in the figure includes at least one lamp 42 and at least one elliptical mirror 44 as a light condensing portion that condenses light emitted from the lamp 42 .
- the lamp 42 a xenon lamp or a halogen lamp that is commonly used in an infrared crystal growth apparatus is usable.
- An output of the lamp is preferably about 1 kW to about 30 kW.
- the heating may be performed from an oblique direction without being limited to a direction perpendicular to the silicon members as long as the heating is performed from the outer side of the abutting surfaces 37 A.
- the alloying metal foil is first melted by the heating and a metal melt is generated. Next, the abutting surfaces 37 A of the silicon members in contact with the metal melt are attacked by the metal melt, and a melt containing silicon is generated. It is considered that when the heating is stopped and temperature is lowered, the melt is solidified while forming an alloy phase containing a eutectic, and joining is completed.
- the silicon members can be sufficiently joined by heating up to about 800° C.
- a light focused region normally has a diameter of about 10 mm to about 30 mm.
- the diameter of the light focused region is increased to about 30 mm to about 100 mm when a light emission position of the lamp 42 is out of position from a focal point of an elliptical mirror 44 .
- the light focused region thus expanded makes it possible to expand a heated range.
- the light focused region is preferably moved to scan the entire top surface of the protective material ring 32 at the abutting surfaces 37 A, to effect heating.
- the melt containing silicon and the alloying metal is cooled and solidified to generate the joining part 39 containing a eutectic alloy.
- the alloying metal is Al and is cooled up to about 577° C.
- the joining part 39 containing Al-silicon eutectic (12.2 atomic % Al) is generated.
- a cooling speed depends on the alloying metal to be used. In the case where Al as the alloying metal is used, the cooling speed is preferably controlled to 10 to 100° C./min. If the cooling speed is lower than the above-described lower limit value, a cooling time is lengthened and efficiency is low. If the cooling speed is higher than the above-described upper limit value, distortion tends to remain in the joining part 39 .
- the cooling speed can be controlled by gradually reducing the output of heating means after melting of the alloying metal foil is completed, and stopping the heating when the temperature of the joining part 39 is estimated to be lower than melting temperature of the eutectic.
- Such control of the heating temperature can be performed based on a result of a measurement of relationship between power of the heating means and the temperature. The measurement is previously performed, for example, while a thermocouple having a shape similar to the silicon members to be actually pasted together is disposed between the silicon members.
- Generation of the melt by the heating and generation of the joining part 39 containing the eutectic alloy by the cooling described above are preferably performed inside a chamber of argon atmosphere of 10 torr to 200 torr (about 1333 Pa to about 26664 Pa) in order to prevent oxidation of the alloying metal and silicon. It is also possible to prevent oxidation by decompression without using argon gas; however, this is not preferable because decompression causes evaporation of silicon and the inside of the chamber may be contaminated. Further, oxidation can be prevented by nitrogen gas; however, this is not preferable because silicon is nitrided at temperature of 1200° C. or more.
- One silicon adhesion part 40 between the abutting surfaces 37 A of each two of the first silicon members 34 , 36 , and 38 is formed by heating and melting silicon near the abutting surfaces 37 A.
- expansion of the elliptical mirror 44 at the irradiation position is set to about 3 mm by adjusting a position of the lamp such that a focal position of an elliptical mirror 44 and a position of a light emitting unit of the lamp 42 are coincident with each other, and adjusting a height of the top surface of the silicon members so as to be coincident with another focal point of the elliptical mirror 44 .
- the position of the elliptical mirror 44 is adjusted to the positions of the abutting surfaces 37 A, and power of the lamp 42 is increased.
- the top surface side of the abutting surfaces 37 A is melted to generate silicon melt. More specifically, the surface starts to melt at 60% of rated lamp power (estimated surface temperature is 1420° C.), and the silicon melt flows into the gap between the abutting surfaces 37 A to plug a part of the gap between the abutting surfaces 37 A at 90% of the rated lamp power.
- the elliptical mirror 44 is moved for scanning along the abutting surfaces 37 A at a constant speed, for example, at a speed of 5 mm/min, which makes it possible to plug the gap between the abutting surfaces 37 A with the silicon melt.
